The only use for bed outlet

Post the pics.

 

Using a crock pot on the road to a campsite. First nights dinner is ready to eat when you get there.

No picture required.

 

I want to try this, but I'll spill it all over my bed...

 

It's why they make latching lids. So you can transport w/o spillage.

Then secure the pot in the bed.

Unless you are yeehawing up washboard trails, it should work out fine.

 

I like to yeehaw

 

Who will be the first to temp match to DRL's?

 

Have you actually tried it?
If so which crock pot? I know the one I have is not going to work off the 400 Watt plug

 

... and only 100w when in gear. It's a nifty idea, though, if the draw isn't too high.

Nice job with the lights, OP.

 

There's a thread to make it 400 all the time but good point without that only 100W

That's what a laptop charger at most?

 

Hmm, I like this idea. Nothing to wire in a 2000w inverter to the truck bed. Hmmm. Would be awesome for the winter camping/snow shoe trips.

 

I ran a "SKIL"belt sander from mine once,and ran a wash machine long enough to drain it to transport it,the elect.was already turned off at the house lol.

 

Rebuttal

 

I used it to charge a speaker. That’s about it so far. There’s been a bunch of these threads, the consensus seems to be it’s not good for much aside from charging small electronics or decorating your taco with Christmas lights this time of year. Maybe a heated blanket if you sleep in the bed, anybody tried that?

 

I use mine to inflate my blow up dolls

 

1st time using outlet this weekend. Attempted to remove dealership decal on tailgate with a blow dryer. Decal won that round so far.

 

Hair dryers draw 800-1500 Watts, that’s not gonna work

 

Use some goof off, took my emblems right off and didn't hurt the paint. Bed outlet won't power a hair dryer well as far as I know, those fuckers need a lot of watts..

I've used mine to charge my phone for a few min once to make sure it worked, that's about it. 400w doesn't do much aside from that

 

I soldered some trailer light wires with mine.
